Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 2 The Gun of Vulcan

Undeterred, Tamura Hiroshi began to explain the second sealed scroll.

"Inside is a special ninja tool I made, powerful enough to kill a Jonin."

"Did you make the ninja tool that killed the Jonin?"

Ye Yue Ai couldn't help but speak up, expressing her doubt.

He had only recently become a Jonin, yet a ten-year-old kid had created a weapon capable of killing a Jonin.

That's absolutely impossible!

The Third Raikage and Tsuchida were more puzzled and curious. With the existence of that billion ryo, they thought more highly of this boy. This was no ordinary kid and he shouldn't be spouting nonsense.

"I need a spacious and secluded place to exhibit."

Tamura Hiroshi didn't explain much, simply stating that he needed to demonstrate.

At this point, saying anything more is useless; what matters is the performance of the real weapon. He was very confident in the weapon he had created.

Although its accuracy is limited by the conditions, its power is definitely not bad.

"Go to my cultivation room!"

The Third Raikage glanced at the box containing ten billion ryo, got up and walked outside, agreeing to Tamura Hiroshi's request.

Tamura Hao quickly followed, and Tsuchida sealed away the ten billion ryo, then followed with two scrolls and Yotsuki Ai.

Not long after, they arrived at a training room on the mountain below the Raikage Building. This was the Third Raikage's private training room, which contained a lot of equipment for body training.

This fits the style of Kumogakure, especially the Raikage.

Although it is called a training room, the space is extremely large, measuring 100 meters in length and width, and 50 meters in height. It is surrounded by steel, making it very sturdy.

The three Raikage remained silent, quietly waiting for the young man's performance.

Without delay, Tamura Hao took the second sealed scroll from Tsuchida's hand and unsealed it to reveal the three big guys inside.

"These three weapons were inspired by my playing with blowguns and fireworks. They use explosive tags as a power source to propel the metal projectiles in front of them through these steel pipes. Their power mainly depends on the quality of the explosive tags and the strength of the metal."

Because of my status, I can't buy high-level detonators, so these bullets only contain the lowest-level detonators, which are of average power. I rolled ten detonators into each bullet.

I named this one the Vulcan Rifle, primarily for long-range pinpoint shooting.

Tamura Hao first picked up the smallest rifle and a bullet and introduced them to the three of them. Then he inserted the thumb-thick bullet into the rifle's magazine and pushed the rotating bolt to lock it in place.

He picked up the two-meter-long sniper rifle, aimed it at the opposite wall, and prepared to fire, but hesitated for a moment.

This gun was a replica he made based on a World War II movie he had seen in his previous life. In the movie, the Soviet army used this kind of gun to shoot at tanks. The gun's structure was also very simple, basically just a steel pipe. You can tell how much recoil it had by the kinetic energy it could use to penetrate a tank's armor.

Moreover, his bullets were made from ten explosive tags. Even if they were the lowest grade explosive tags, the combined power of ten tags would still be considerable.

Even if I could withstand the recoil, I'd probably get injured, not to mention I don't know if it would explode.

"Using this Vulcan gun requires a very strong physique, and I don't think my physical condition is good enough."

Tamura Hao turned to look at the Third Raikage and the other two, his gaze finally settling on Yozuki Ai, who had a muscular physique.

"How do I use it?"

Ye Yue Ai did not refuse, stepped forward and took the Vulcan Spear, even somewhat excited.

Although he was impulsive, he wasn't stupid. Although the kid had said something very simple, he had already figured out the underlying principles.

The metal bullet would be propelled out by the explosive force of the detonating tag; the effect would definitely be strong.

"Just input the chakra here to activate the explosive tags inside the bullet. Be careful. Although I made it, I haven't actually tested it yet. The gun material isn't very good either, so be careful it doesn't explode."

Tamura Hao gave a brief explanation and a reminder, then decisively retreated, even backing up behind the earthen platform.

Tsuchida glanced at the brat who had retreated behind him and was using him as a shield, speechless, but he didn't dwell on it and kept a close eye on Yotsuki Ai, who was lifting the iron pipe.

The Third Raikage was also watching with great interest. He had figured out the principle behind it, and it was indeed very novel. He just didn't know how powerful it would be.

Without keeping the three of them waiting long, Ye Yue Ai simply aimed at a pillar on the opposite wall and then detonated the explosive tags inside the bullet.

"Bang!"

A loud bang was accompanied by a flash of fire as the gun barrel shot out, and at the same time a dent the size of a walnut appeared on the opposite wall.

The three Raikage rushed over to investigate, their expressions instantly turning serious.

Although only a hole the size of a walnut was dug, the walls here are made of steel and are ten centimeters thick.

The fact that it can create a dent the size of a walnut on this steel shows its power; if it were to hit a person, even the torso would be blown apart.

Even when using ninjutsu for defense, it must at least be a defensive ninjutsu that incorporates nature transformation.

Tutai used kunai to dig out the severely deformed bullet from the crater, examined it for a while, and then made a statement.

"The strength of your bullet is not good enough. If it were replaced with a stronger alloy, the penetration power would definitely be greatly improved."

This power is far greater than that of a kunai or shuriken thrown from the hand. Even if you throw a kunai yourself, it can only pierce a person's body and is difficult to penetrate. But if this kind of bullet hits a human body, the limbs will definitely be broken if hit, and the torso will definitely kill you.

"The accuracy is much worse."

Ye Yue Ai looked at the pillar ten meters away, very dissatisfied with the accuracy. Moreover, the Vulcan gun in her hand was also deformed, with the cartridge case stuck inside and unable to come out, caused by the previous bullet explosion.

However, these issues can be resolved by upgrading materials, but the accuracy is a major flaw.

Faced with Yotsuki Ai's dissatisfaction, Tamura Hao knew it was time for him to put on a show.

"I've thought about this. I could make spiral lines inside the gun barrel to control the bullet's rotation, thereby stabilizing the trajectory and improving accuracy. It's just that it's too difficult to make, and I can't do it."

In addition, we can try to add ninjutsu to the gun, such as using Earth Release to increase the hardness of the barrel and bullets, thereby increasing explosiveness and penetration. Lightning Release and Wind Release can also increase penetration and accuracy. Wind Release can also reduce the air resistance encountered by the bullets during flight and reduce the loss due to friction with the air.

Water Release can rapidly cool the barrel for continuous, rapid firing; Fire Release can mimic explosive tags by sealing them onto the bullet for secondary damage, or shrink explosive tags and seal them inside the bullet to explode upon impact, just like fireworks…

Listening to Tamura Hiroshi's ideas, Tsuchida's eyes lit up; this really was a good approach.

If this were realized, the power of this weapon would be greatly enhanced.

Most importantly, this thing should have a long range; 100 meters is far from its limit, and it may even reach more than 1,000 meters. If it were replaced with a high-level detonator, the range would definitely be further increased.

What ninjutsu has an attack range of over a kilometer?

Unfazed by the heat, Ye Yue Ai stroked the Vulcan Spear as if she wanted to kiss it, clearly enamored with it and longing to possess the powerful weapon once it was fully formed.

The Third Raikage then looked at the other two large creatures, whose sheer size suggested considerable power, which only heightened his anticipation.

Tutai and Yeyue Ai also looked at the other two powerful weapons, equally eager to see them.
